We are always interested in hearing from experienced scientists who wish to work in quantum information and technology.
We're an experimental group that also does theory. and we've a number of projects in the Quantum Technology Lab at the University of Queensland. You will have a chance to work with, and gain expertise in, a suite of techniques and technologies, including design and construction of integrated photonic circuits, electron-beam lithography, quantum dots, and photon measurement using both transition-edge photon counters and superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors. Prior experience in any of the following areas is valuable but not required: quantum information; quantum optics; two-photon experiments; cryogenic systems; precision optical experiments. Successful candidates will join an active team, and will have an opportunity to participate in all our projects. Ability to take a creative leadership role as part of a team is essential.
Typically, our Fellows have a two or three year fixed-term appointment at Academic Level B, with the possibility of a one or two year extension. In 2024, the remuneration package is in the range of $106,080–$125,688 per annum; in addition to this there is an employer superannuation contribution of 17%. For more information please contact Professor Andrew White.
